Interior, Bureau of Land Management, commenting 
on the Bureau's research and planning activities 
as they relate to the Marine Mammal Protection

marine mammals; and recommending that the 
Bureau: (1) designate headquarters and regional

marine mammal-related studies, (2) develop a 
plan and schedule for intra- and inter-agency 
meetings to plan and coordinate marine mammal- 
related studies on both national and regional 
levels, (3) initiate consultations under 
Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act 
sufficiently in advance of contemplated actions 
so that research recommendations can be in- 
corporated into environmental studies plans 
and lease sale schedules, (4) evaluate and, if 
necessary, revise guidelines and procedures 
used to develop and up-date regional studies 
plans so as to ensure that program needs relative 
to marine mammals are being identified and 
met effectively, (5) engage appropriately 
qualified marine mammal biologists to help 
prepare and review marine mammal sections 
of environmental assessment documents, and

and development activities on marine mammals 
and their habitats.
